Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

open scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to open — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

If you need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Open PDF

Display a PDF document in the live viewer. Use this when the user wants to see a document — not just extract its text.

Instructions

  1. If the user provides a URL or file path, call display_pdf with it
  2. If no path given, call list_pdfs first to show available documents
  3. After displaying, offer next steps based on the document type:
    • Contract / report → "Want me to highlight key sections or add review notes?"
    • Form → "This has fillable fields — shall I help you fill it?"
    • Academic paper → "Shall I walk through and annotate the key findings?"

Supported Sources

  • Local files (paths or drag-and-drop into your working directory)
  • arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/... auto-converts to PDF URL)
  • Any direct HTTPS PDF URL (use the PDF link, not a landing page)

When NOT to use this

If the user just wants a summary or text extraction, do not open the viewer — use Claude's native Read tool on the PDF path instead. The viewer is for interactive, visual workflows.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
